The Cattle Market.

~iNNh N'HNNSh ~ ENo
CHICAGO, Dec. l0.-Trade in the cattle
market is slow and prices are lower. Re
ceipts have been larger than ever before
at this time of year, and it is scarcely ne
cessary to add, in excess of all demands.
Towards the last of the week one half of
the number of cattle actually received
would have been more in accordance with
the legitimate wants of the trade. Buyers
had the advantage and were disposed to
use it. They demanded concessions of
l0(G20c. from last weeks rates, and are
buying most Of the cattle at that much
off. Choice, smooth, well fatted beeves
of no matt r what weight are in fair de-
demand owing to their scarcity, and the
shrinkage in them has therefore been
smallest, but there is nothing in the
sh lpe ola bullock for which sellers will
pay previous figures. Local dressed beef
operators are hard to please, and will ride
away unless exactly suited. Eastern mar
ke.s as well as our own have been de-
pressed by continued heavy supplies. The
New York market is slow and full of
cattle, and taken all in all there seems to
be nothing in the situation that is even in
d IeunOte ueHree cheering 10 holders OF
common TO fair stuff.
Rough, half fattened trash is In great
luck 10 attract any bid at all. A very
large proportion of the receipts average
uudvr ,250 pounds and the great bulk of
the sales are at prices below "a. 20, a large
part OF the offerings going over the scales
at SO. 25(g3 rs. A few loads of pre- mium
aud fancy holiday natives make what look
like high figures, aud the cake was taken
by a seller who got Sc, 50 for a small lot
OF Christmas Herefords averaging 1875
pounds. The sale is mentioned not be
cause it in anyway reflects the general
market. but as showing for what fancy fed
and fancy bred beeves may occasionally be
sold.
Cows and bulls of the common sorts
are selling at about the lowest prices of
the year. Altogether too much lean old
stuff is being thrown on the market, and
the demand from butchers is at a mini
mum, owing to the dullness in the retail
trade caused by cheap poultry and game.
Most OF the offerings are weighed at 81. so.
az 90, and there are numerous sales at
81, GOGGLES, while choice grades can be
had at 81 4n(92. SO. Gamers are the
principal buyers. Good to choice cows
and bulls are in fair demand.
For stockers and feeders the demand
keeps up well. Supplies are Lretty full,
but holders are confident and refuse any
concessions. Still decent 700 to 500
pound stockers can be bought nearly as
low as at the lowest time this year.

JACKSON Anil IL 1887

cA~hoON3 APiii 4oy 1901
EDITOR CLARION; While all confess
that immigration, and the increase of
the supply of money in our State. are
the two things most essential to its pros
perity, we might, with equal unanimity,
confess that since the war our State
legislation has done nothing to promote
the former, while it has actually erected
barriers against the coming OF capital
to the State. We have a statute, not
recent, but of long standing, taxing all
money loaned at interest in the State,
although the party loaning may reside
elsewhere, and may make exhibit that
he is paying tax ON the money else
where. This money SO loaned is tax
able in the county "where the person
resides, or has place Of business, or tenn
pordrity located at the time of assessment"
but it does not and cannot reach the
borrower who resides beyond the boun-
Diary of the State, and has his place of
business beyond the boundary Of the
State. Such can loan free of the
tax. What is The result? Two years
ago a body of capitalists, represent
ing European money to the extent of
millions which they were loaning in
the State, left it and located in Mem
phis to avoid this tax. Recently num-
Der of gentlemen from New York, Phil
adelphia, Boston and Kansas City, rep
resenting millions of American money,
were in Jackson, had actually rented
their Office here, and prepared to make
this business centre from which direct
ly to loan money to planters on very
advantageous terms, but examining our
statutes, and finding this onerous tax,
they too, left for Memphis, where they
will locate. Now, the money from each
of these firms will yet be to a great
extent loaned in our State, but in
such way that it will not be taxable.
There will be delay and great expense,
besides much ciscumlocution to the plan
ter now to borrow the money. Is there
reason, or is it to the interest of the
people of the State, that there should be
such legislation? For | need not say
that il is the BORROWER, Az last, " no pays
this tax. The planting community are
vitality interested in abundant ard cheap
money, and money easy of access. To
accomplish these results, capital should
be invited to the State. The borrower
and the party loaning, should be placed
in immediate contact. In place of leg
islating to prevent capitalists from ere
siding or doing business in our State, this
very thing should be stimulated and en-
couraged. Let the Legislature fix a rate
of interest at which, if money is loaned
in the State, such loan shall be nom
taxable. HI. r. WARE.

OUR well-informed and usually accu-
rate contemporary, the Aberdeen Exam
liner, in acknowledging the pleasure of a
visit from Mr.. James w. Langley, the
Travelling Agent Of the Gulf & Ship
Island Railroad Company, says:
"By the way. Mr.. Langley was the
first Democratic Sergeant-at-Arms of the
State Senate after the reconstruction
"frolic," and the only man who ever
arrested and took into custody Cover
nor of Mississippi. This feat was per.
formed when Adelbert Ames, the car
petbag Republican GoS~rnor was i'm
peach and requested 10 step down aud
ont, ana was succeeded by Col. j. M.
Stone, staunch Democrat, by virtue Of
his position as President of the Senate.
A. K. Davis, colored, Lieutenant-Gover-
nor, and resident of Noxubee county,
approaching the situation, resigned
without waiting for impeachment.
These worthless have retired to obscurity,
but Mr.. Langley still "holds the fort
in active public life"
1t was Ames who resigned pending
the impeachment proceedings. Davis
was impeached and removed from office
by the judgment of the Senate sitting as
Court of Impeachment.

A Suggestion to the Travelling Pub
lie.

Tourists, emigrants and mariners find
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is me-
dicinal safeguard against unheaIthfnl in
fuences, upon which they can implicitly
rely, since it prevents the effects Of yitiated
atmosphere, unaccustomed or unwhole-
some diet, bad water, or other conditions
unfavorable to health. On long voyages,
or journeys in latitudes adjacent TO the
equator, it is especially useful as pre-
ventive of the febrile complaints and dis
orders Of the stomach, liver and bowels,
which are apt to attack natives OF the tenn
perate zone sojourning or travelling in such
regions, and it is an excellent protection
against the influence OF extreme cold, sud-
den changes of temperature, exposure to
damp or extreme fatigue. 1t not only
prevents Intermittent and remittent fever,
and other diseases Of malarial type, but
eradicates them, fact which has been no.
torious for years past in North and South
America, Mexico, the West Indies, Austria
liza, and other countries.

The Chances Of Victory at Shiloh.


St. Louis, April ST. Editor Republi-
can The Globe-Dem0crat, in its edito-
rial this morning on Gen. Albert Sidney
Johnston, says his progress at Shiloh
was checked before he was killed, and
leaves the inference that before the fatal
bullet struck him his hope of further
success was gone, even without the
arrival of Buell's forces to aid the fed
erals. Gen. Johnstonswas killed early
in the afternoon while directing charge
20 overcome the obstinate resistance
offered by Prentiss' division, 1t is true
that this part Of bis line has been
checked, but on both The right and left
Of this so good progres was made in the
two hours after Gen. Johnston's death
that Gen. Prentiss found himself sur
rounded and compelled to surrender be-
tween and 5 o'clock After this the
confederate lines advanced close to the
river, with no resistance on our front,
till we found the remnant Of the federal
forces huddled together in not very
strong position. Every man has right
to form his own option what would
have been the result had the victorious
confederate line mad d general and de
termined aseanlh d he-adisaFganized
and battered, thouah doubtless still
plucky battallions Ahich yet remained
with their colors, and had Gen. Grant
received no achievements. There is
certainly no warrant for saying that the
hope of confederate victory was gone at
2 O'clock. The great promise of com
plete triumph was later in the day. 1t
was for the final charge at the river that
we needed our commander. As Gen
Johnston had twice carried our regi-
mental colors in his hands that day his
personality and strength as leader
is somewhat wildly impressed on my
memory.

Senator Georges Prediction Verified

Senator George was an earnest, as
well as an able, advocate Of the Inter
state Commerce bill. The conduct Of
tine railroads in planning to make 1t
odious by increasing their charges for
transporting freight and passengers to
stampede its supporters by a hue and
cry along the whole line, recalls predic-
ton of Senator George while the meas
ure was under consideration in the
Senate. Here is what he said:
While l am up, Mr.. President, !
will supplement the idea which l
first advanced. / believe it will be
the policy of the railroad companies
of this country, as soon as the bill
is passed, By all sorts of tricks ana
maneuuers 10 make arrangements, 10 maxi
rates which are unreasonable and unjust ana
charge them to this bill. am not without
precedent of this sort. / have had some
observation in my own State which au'
thorizes me to say as now do, that
every effort, every device, every trick
will be resorted to on the part of the
railroad companies for the purpose Of
bringing into disrepute legislation on
this subject Congressional Record, p
636.
The Senator may not be prophet
nor the son of prophet, but it is evil
dent that his prediction has been verified
to the letter. The railroad companies
are making unreasonable and unjust
rates and charging them to the Inter
state Commerce law" with motive SC
plain that wayfaring man though foo
can see through it.
